OPEN CALL Creatures, Cryptids, & Creepies

About Exhibition: On All Hallows Eve, legend says the veil between worlds is thinnest, inviting creatures from beyond to cross over. Across the globe, every culture has its own mythical beings, such as Mexico’s Chupacabra, Russia’s Baba Yaga, and California’s Fresno Nightcrawler and Bigfoot, to name a few. Today, we celebrate these legends through art, costume, and decoration.
